Don't feel hungry

[jdpeters]

Trying to increase caloric intake but struggling. Taking an energy pill in the morning pre cardio workout. And then a pre workout supp, Jack3d, 30 min prior to workout. After my workout I just don't feel hungry. Could it be one of these supps or both? I am leaning towards the energy pill but not sure.

Thanks

It's the supplements and the workout's hunger blunting effect from all the adrenal hormones(fight or flight response) Your hunger should come back a few hours later but i'm sure the pre-workout and energy pill are further blunting your hunger since they enhance adrenal activity. Times like these you have to make a choice, cut out the pre-workout( i probably wouldnt) or just eat regardless of hunger. We have to eat for nutrition, not for pleasure, if you wan't to reach your goals sometimes.

I hear ya... might cut out the energy pill. Wish I could smoke some weed for the munchies. .. :-)

Lol, go for it, but it might lower testosterone and motivation


Try to stick to calorically dense foods(peanut butter, whole milk, etc) That always helps me during bulks.

Ok, did without the energy pill this morning and ate like a champ!

Skip the energy pill and drink a strong cup of coffee instead.
